Recapping day one of the Republican National Convention

"Make America Safe Again" was the theme on day one of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. 

Convention attendees heard from a myriad of voices Monday, including former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke. The speech that garnered the most media attention, however, was that of Donald Trump's wife, Melania Trump. 

Many have noted some (rather jarring) similarities between Melania Trump's speech and one given by Michelle Obama at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. 

For more on day one of the 2016 Republican National Convention, Take Two spoke to Katie Orr, Sacramento politics and government reporter for KQED.
